When residual curvature exceeds 40\u00b0, the PICS (penile implant in combination with the Sealing technique) technique is performed. The device is deflated, and a circumcising skin incision and penile degloving are performed. After elevation of the neurovascular bundle, the device is reinflated maximally. Plaque incision is performed at the point of maximum curvature using electrocautery. This leads to penile straightening because the tension is removed. In the next step, the defect of the tunica is closed with collagen fleece, which sticks to the tunica and defect without any sutures needed. The neurovascular bundle is reapproximated and the Buck fascia is closed. This is followed by closure of penile skin.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Primary outcome measurements were straightening rates, operative times, 5-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores at follow-up, immediate and late complications, and patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The PICS technique was applied to 15 patients. Mean patient age was 61.7 years (52\u201379 years). Mean residual curvature after IPP was 66.7\u00b0 (50\u201390\u00b0). Mean operative time was 117.3 minutes (100\u2013140 minutes). Mean follow-up was 15.1 months (1\u201329 months). 12 of 15 patients (80%) showed a totally straight penis. 3\u00a0patients (20%) had residual curvature of 10\u00b0 at follow-up, which did not interfere with sexual intercourse. Mean IIEF-5 score at follow-up was 24.2 (22\u201325). No immediate or late complications occurred.
